T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE .R. CLARK, of Dubuque, Dubuque county, Iowa, have in Vented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Carriages, of which the following is a specification.

The accompanying drawing is a perspective view of a baby-carriage with the body formed like a shoe, and the frame-work and runninggear of a light and easy but substantial charaoter, whereby I make the carriage attractive in appearance, as well as durable.

The carriage may be used for children, or, as illustrated, for dolls. The front wheel, a, is journaled between the side rails, b, that are secured to the hind axle, 0, just inside the hind wheels, d. The railsb extend rearwardiy, and,with the crosspiece e, constitute the bandle by which the carriage is moved. The body fis preferably in the form of a shoe open at the top and divided in front, so as to form two flexible folding wings, 9, that are held together when closed by suitable fastenings, h, preferably by a lace cord, as illustrated. By

this arrangement the child or doll may be placed in the carriage and then held securely in place without danger of falling out. The shoe is supported by a spring, '6, secured to the heel j and to the back axle, c, and by a bifurcated spring, Z, attached to the toe an, that straddles the front wheel, a, and is secured to the rails b-at their outer extremities.

If desired, the carriage may be provided with an umbrella, 0.
